    Shame that Past performance is not a guide to future performance,, isn't it?

    Actually its more like 'Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance'. The word necessarily is important because past performance is actually as good as any measure in helping to choose a fund. It certainly what I use in different forms

    Back to the OP's original question, when recently leaving HL I looked at iWeb and II funds and found II much better - iWeb seemed a bit pick and mix.
    I'm intending to leave HL shortly but having looked at iWeb and II find that iWeb is better for me.
    Has the funds I want to transfer and from my interaction with both providers I am much happier with iWeb.
    It's your money. Except if it's the governments.

    But you can only tell if this is one of the cases it does apply in retrospect, which doesn't help much.

    "Yes i see your point. So whats your method/process..?"

    After region and sector analysis, there is only really historic data to go on. My point is really that it is pointless doing the level of analysis indicated ( a bit tongue in cheek I think) further up this thread.....

    Based on your interaction I'm not surprised. II are proving dire, taking forever and being evasive (a polite term for not being truthful) when I contact them. But I still like their fees and range of funds so I'm taking it on the chin as "you get what you pay for".

    At the moment not able to trade ETF's or Funds because the pages to select them both do not work. Problem II end - yes get the same evasive answers. At the moment it looks like Iweb have a better site and your more likely to "find" a fund you might like.
